When it's snowing in December
That's when I remember how it used to be
I could smell my mama's cooking
While Dad was outside looking for a Christmas tree
Christmas time in summer is the way it is down under
But the mood's the same
When the presents were all open we'd have carols by the ocean
While the children played
One child was me
And I still believe that's how it's meant to be

On Christmas eve
All around the world
Everybody's wishes are the same
For peace on earth

It can happen if we try
We all share this dream

Underneath the same sky
Now that I'm a mother
Christmas has another kind of joy for me
Giving not receiving
To those who are in need
Is what the season means
Our children see through you and me
That's how its meant to be
On Christmas eve
All around the world
Everybody's wishes are the same
For peace on earth

So dream with me
Cause you and I
Are underneath the same sky
Underneath the same sky
